All paintings are purchased through bids. For those who are unable to attend the event, you can also make a donation to the guide dogs on the desert website.
According to Guide Dogs of America, raising and training guide dogs cost nearly $60,000.
Fifty-three percent of visually impaired people report that they currently use guide dogs, and according to the Blind Research Foundation, they have expressed enthusiasm for the guide dog lifestyle.
